eggybread Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 it cant be money surely, all those years in championship i bet there top earner is probably on what an average squad player at us is on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shaun11177 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 This was on the cards when we signed Bassong-the squad will be 22-2 players each position therefore i see no new strikers coming in or midfielders only 2 defenders for the full back positions.

morgs Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 not as annoyed knowing that faye is going to stoke due to wanting to live down there. would be annoyed if we were jsut selling him becuase we had received a bid but he was happy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boey_Jarton Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I got to watch a training session and eat with the players at the back end of last season as part of a prize a family friend won at a charity auction at the NUFC fashion show. The banter and atmosphere did some to be generally really good between the players. One thing i did notice though, is that Faye got in a strop on quite a few occasions. After Diatta had been involved in a late challenge on another player (possibly smith IIRC) , Faye got involved and was really aggressive, moody and complained for the rest of the session. Keegan had to take him to one side to tell him to settle down. Im not sure if there was a rift of any sort between him and other players but he definitely did not look too happy.

ToonMonty Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 There was also the rumour of a bust up with N'Zogbia pre or post Everton that I thought was media shite at the time but maybe........ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rob X Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 If faye is as good as people think then you'd assume a better team than stoke would want him even if it's only as a squad player. It seems to me that he must have fucked up big time with KK and perhaps thinks he's a lot better than he is....a view not shared by any other premier league team other than the one that is going down at the end of the season.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 From Stoke's point of view though he's a good signing, might just help them avoid embarassment a la Derby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Very weird this. Cacapa would have been my first thought to shift. At Cacapa's age though where he's won things, he's more likely to be happy being a squad member than Faye though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EthiGeordie Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I think KK is a legend and cause like selling Amobie justfy this. I can not forgive Booby or the other mangers to stick with Bramble and Amobie. KK know what good football is and givin money I belive he will create the same side like the 90ties here. In KK we trust. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shaun11177 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Well i think its just rebalancing the squad, i dont think we will sign another centre half i think the replacements will be fullbacks. Not convinced at all about us signing another striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In KK we trust. Seconded I had my doubts when we announced the return of the mack, but he's putting them all to rest one at a time. If Faye is disrupting things behind the scenes (as is hinted at) and/or KK doesn't rate him then I've no problem at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I reckon Keegan is genuinely happy with his four centre-backs of Coloccini, Taylor, Cacapa & Bassong. Whether it's strong enough is another matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it's strong enough is another matter. I have to say Bassong looked pretty good to me, quick and strong and read the game pretty well. With Colo barking orders at the back albeit in spanish, they could shape up nicely including Taylor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Luque Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Tozer is very close to the first team now aswell isn't he? Everyone seems to think highly of him, and maybe he will get a few games this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to me that he must have fucked up big time with KK and perhaps thinks he's a lot better than he is....a view not shared by any other premier league team other than the one that is going down at the end of the season. I thought that opinion was shot to bits when Bellamy joined Blackburn who had finished 15th the previous season. Here's a tip for you lad, try watching games and forming an opinion on what you see with your own 2 eyes, not on the "Rafa rates him so he must be good!" approach. Muppet.

ATB Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Think people is to hard on Taylor. He has played well at the pre-season and I think he will be quite good. Also remember that Colo will be a quite good partner too that will help Taylor nicely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 From Stoke's point of view though he's a good signing, might just help them avoid embarassment a la Derby. They're getting a solid, experienced defender for a small fee. They should be pissing themselves. He's not superb but I'd rather have him here, than have an extra £2m in the bank and have to promote Taylor to automatic first choice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree, only mitigating factor might be whatever has gone on behind the scenes. And also who might yet arrive. I'm still leaning towards it being a bad sale, but we'll see.
